What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

One can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there,


However

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T = 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND,

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G = 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

7 Destructive Habits of Incompetent Students


Number 1 - Incompetent students think, say, and do negative things.

Yes Incompetent Students see problems in every opportunity.

Incompetent Students complain that the sun is too hot. They curse the rain for ruining their plans for the day. They blame the wind for messing their hair.

Incompetent Students think that everyone is against them. They see the problems but never the solutions.

Every little bit of difficulty is exaggerated to the point of tragedy. They regard failures as catastrophes. They become discouraged easily instead of learning from their mistakes.

Incompetent Students never seem to move forward because they're always afraid to come out of their comfort zones.

Number 2 - Incompetent Students Act Before They Think.

Incompetent Students act on impulse. When they see something that they like, they buy it at once without a second thought.

When Incompetent Students see something better, they get angry for not able to take advantage of the new bargain.

Incompetent Students spend and spend again until nothing's left. They don't think about the future. They want the pleasure now.

They don't think about the consequences. Those who engage in unsafe drugs, unhealthy practices and criminal activity are included in this group.

Number 3 - Incompetent Students Talk Much More Than They Listen

They want to be the star of the show. Incompetent Students always engage in talks that portray them as heroes, even to the point of lying.

Most times they are not even aware that what they're saying is not making sense.

When other people advise these incompetent students, they close their ears because they're too proud to admit their mistakes.

In their mind they're always correct. Incompetent Students reject outside suggestions because they will make them feel inferior.

Number 4 - Incompetent Students Give Up Easily

Successful students treat failures as stepping stones to success.

Incompetent students call it quits upon recognizing the first signs of failure.

At first, Incompetent Students may be excited to start an endeavor. But then they lose interest fairly quickly, especially when they encounter obstacles.

Then they go and search for a new task or adventure. Same story with the same results. Incompetent students don't have the stamina to go on and fulfill their dreams.

Number 5 - Incompetent Students Try to Bring Others Down To Their Level

Incompetent students envy successful students. Instead of working hard to be like them, these incompetent ones spread rumors and try every dirty trick to bring them down.

They could've asked these successful ones nicely. But no, they're too proud. They don't want to ask advise. Moreover, they're too negative to accomplish anything.

Number 6 - Incompetent Students Waste Their Time

Incompetent Students don't know what to do next. They are content eating, getting drunk, watching TV, or playing video games with no thoughts whatsoever to improve their studies.

It's perfectly fine to enjoy yourself once in a while. But time should be managed efficiently in order to succeed. There should be a proper balance between study and pleasure.

Number 7 - Incompetent Students Take the Easy Way Out

If there are two roads to choose from, incompetent students usually choose the easy road with less rewards than the difficult road with much better rewards at the end.

Incompetent Students don't want any suffering or hardship. They want a good life.

What these students don't know is that what you reap is what you sow. Efforts and action will not go unrewarded.

If only Incompetent Students would be willing to sacrifice a little, they would be much better off.

Successful students make it through effort and sacrifice. They never give up. They are willing to do everything necessary to achieve the highest grades and highest knowledge.

Dont be an Incompetent Student!!!
